Description
Protect components sensitive to electrostatic discharge
An ESD balancer supports a tool and reduces handling effort at workstations used to assemble, inspect or repair electronic components. Its antistatic design and grounding allow integration into an electrostatic discharge protected area, known as an EPA.
This Zero Gravity version compensates the tool’s weight within its rated load range, following movements and supporting the tool at the working height.
Size the load range and working travel
Include the tool, its holder and every suspended component in the total weight. Keep this total within the reference’s rated load range. Choose the working travel needed for the task; a cable-end extension adjusts suspension height without increasing working travel.
Check grounding and electrical continuity of the complete assembly against the operating instructions and the workstation’s ESD control plan. An ESD balancer alone does not make a workstation compliant; ESD design does not establish ATEX suitability.
The housing is aluminium and the cable is stainless steel. Connect grounding at the point specified in the operating instructions and check the mountings before use.

BC option — control from the floor
BC option, reference 7190000004, provides locking and unlocking controlled from the floor. It must be selected with the balancer when ordering and cannot be retrofitted to a unit that was not prepared for it.
F option — rotation brake
Version 9508.FES has a friction device controlling drum rotation speed. This option must be specified when ordering and cannot be fitted later to an unprepared unit. A brake does not replace an operating lock.
RC option — swivelling device
The RC swivelling device, reference 7270000004, is specified for this series. Mention this option in your quotation request to define the complete configuration. It must be ordered with the balancer.
